Good afternoon Joe,

A day trade question: I see a lot of people talking about scalping. Especially for days with back and forward. Can you explain and give some examples for scalping strategy?

What is the risk to reward we are looking for? What will be the appropriate stop loss and profit target?

Thank you for all you do.

Good morning Pete,

A question for position I’m already in. #RBRK – entry 01.16 . , with intention to trade it as mechanical. I sold call option against it / expire today on profit/. But yesterday didn’t hold 20 MA and big volume candle. If today don’t make well bid candle I’m thinking to close it.

Thanks

Good evening Pete,
